<br />In Java people oftenly says that birth, marriage and death are the wish of God. It is easily understood that wedding rituals should be implemented accordingly. It grows to be an exhibition of traditional art and culture, an integral part of the Nation's Identity. Where the noble symbols of life exposed with pride and dignity.
<br />This great tradition, inherited from ancient time, strongly preserved by the people. The Javanese selectively embraces modernazition but the root of tradition remains. The existance of Palaces/Karatons in Yogyakarta and Surakarta, as centers of art and culture plays a positive role. The most significant is the people's sincere care to conserve its own culture.
<br />The hard work and determination to maintain traditional culture by the Karatons, related experts and all parties concern have flourished the culture in the pleasant direction. Some consistent efforts have to be made to improve the favourable trend. </span></p><p><span style="font-size:-1;color:#4b2727;"><b><span>Popularity of Javanese traditional wedding ceremony</span></b>
<br />In 1960's, some Pemaes had started to popularize this traditional wedding ceremony outside the Karaton ring. With the silent blessing of the Karaton, the four EMPU (great Guru) Pemaes from the Yogyakarta court families, namely:
<br />The late Mrs. PRADJOKOHALPITO, the late Mrs. DONOLOBO, the late Mrs. SOSRONEGORO and Mrs. SARDJONO YOSODIPURO formed the first Association of Pemaes P.P. 16 to introduce and spread the art of traditional bridal make up and wedding ceremonies to the society outside the Karaton wall. They also improved their expertise by learning and adopting the pattern from Surakarta palaces.
<br />The four EMPU Pemaes had their own forum of communication by the name of HASTANATA to intensify the spreading of this art. Although they are great artists but they worked untiredly and travelled a lot across the territory in different towns and villages by any means of transportation such as traditional becak (pedicab) or andong (four wheeled carriage drown by a horse) or public transport such as buses and trains. The private cars were rare and aeroplane was too luxurious for the early years of the pioneers. Mean while in Surakarta, Mrs. Dinar Woerjanto did almost the same. She and a few other Pemaes spread this art of classical bridal make up to every strata of society in different places. Along with the economic progress of the country, their fight gave a tremendous result in the art and culture and business related with wedding ceremonies, such as in the fields of: </span></p><ol><span style="font-size:-1;color:#4b2727;"><li>Sajen/offering made and flower arrangements </li><li>Dresses, batik, keris, jewelries , ornaments and other items used in a wedding party </li><li>Food and beverages (catering) </li><li>Performing arts; gamelan music orchestra and classical dance </li><li>The service of photography (lately) video shooting and sound system. </li><li>Renting of public and hotel halls for wedding reception </li><li>Renting of tent, furniture, carpets and special decorated cars for the married couple etc. </li><li>The service of Masters Ceremonies </li><li>The service of some assistants to Pemaes. (in a complete ceremonies a Pemaes should not be able to work by her self) </li></span></ol> <span style="font-size:-1;color:#4b2727;">In April 1978 in Semarang, the capital of Central Java Province, for the first time a workshop on "Javanese traditional bridal make up" was organized. The four Empu Pemaes, with the help of other experts were given the opportunity to run the show, under the supervision of directorate general of Culture. This successful event brought a positive result of making uniformity for Yogyakarta and Surakarta patterns of traditional bridal make up.
<br />Needless to say that as a result of their tremendous achievement by practising their profession with utmost devotion, in many places and occassions, in remote villages, different cities and in also in Karatop</span><p><span style="font-size:-1;color:#4b2727;"> A complete Javanese wedding ceremony has several complicated traditional rituals. In that event, the <b>role of a Pemaes, a traditional make up woman who should lead the complete set of the whole ceremonies is very important</b>. She would take care of the make up and dressings of the bride and bridegroom, different kind of offerings, different kind of ceremonies during the event etc.</span></p>husenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09447322915202279572noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668758774303984702.post-30938318412738298102010-12-01T04:39:00.000-08:002010-12-02T00:06:37.604-08:00Indian Salwar Kameez Wedding Dress<a href="http://javanese-wedding-dress.blogspot.com/"><i><b>Salwar-Kameez</b></i></a> is one of the traditional dresses that are worn by the women in India, on a regular basis.

Colours came in a variety of different shades: red, blue, greens, white, grey, black, orange and tan. Corsets were occasionally worn but any additional undergarments were rarely heard of. A shift, or chemise, would also be worn beneath the gown. Fresh flowers were central to the clothing. The bride would wear flowers in her hair and they would also adorn her gown. Unmarried girls were allowed to wear there hair loose but once married it had to be hid beneath a bonnet. Wealthy brides had garments which were adorned with jewels and gold and silver thread. It was also traditional to carry a bouquet. A bride would have bridesmaids and these would be similarly attired.</span></div><br />

A cloak might also be worn and a pair of boots. Elizabethan men usually wore a short shift as an undergarment. Velvet, Satins and Corduroy were costly and therefore worn by the nobility. The garments belonging to the common man were generally made from Flax, Cotton and wool. Colours came in a variety of different shades: red, blue, greens, yellow, white, grey, black, orange and tan. The colour of yellow would not be chosen for a wedding - it was a sign of mourning. A bridal procession would move from the family's house to the church. This was a particularly festive event and the procession would be accompanied by musicians. </span></div><div style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><br />

Alternatively, she may wear a flamenco style dress. A mantilla veil is a remnant of Spanish influence that has become standard for Mexican and Latin American brides. A Hispanic bride often pays homage to her ancestors by wearing a dress passed down from her mother and grandmother, representing the pride she has in her family. She sews ribbons of yellow, blue and red into the lingerie she wears under her wedding dress, which symbolize the food, money and passion that she hopes to attract to her marriage. Pearls are never part of a Hispanic bride’s outfit since they are thought to bring future tears and grief to the marriage.

Some groups refer to the dresses as <i>cheongsam</i>, though this term is less common since for certain groups it explicitly refers to clothing worn by men. <i>Qipaos</i> began as loosely fitted robes and evolved into the slimmer styles, as seen today. Though dresses of many different styles are considered <i>qipaos</i>, for brides, a short-sleeve, floor-length style is the most common.

Some jacquard fabrics have an allover pattern, while others feature a single motif. If you have a slender frame and want to create curves, consider using a heavier fabric like a brocade or jacquard -- the dress will hold its own a bit more, giving the illusion of a shapelier frame.

For example, you might opt for a different hue if you are more interested in matching your color scheme. It’s your call when it comes to color, but keep in mind that particularly if you have family members who are very traditional, you would do well to avoid inauspicious or otherwise unlucky colors, like black or gray (these beliefs vary among different groups within China and the Chinese diaspora). Another option: Stick to traditional red for the base color, and then use another hue or two in the pattern.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnC3ASk6LiFYrtC_KCyJG_HnrNX9z3bbG6f6f4yHokTqYxR7LOz_5SXKHnTAf9YyGhpi52JSg85X50CbOmKnvvUAgKHv0O-0wg4JyYUx2IGMhQsTWnwwNrep1N55q0S9MjghUR1C8ufRdL/s1600/qipao+red.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnC3ASk6LiFYrtC_KCyJG_HnrNX9z3bbG6f6f4yHokTqYxR7LOz_5SXKHnTAf9YyGhpi52JSg85X50CbOmKnvvUAgKHv0O-0wg4JyYUx2IGMhQsTWnwwNrep1N55q0S9MjghUR1C8ufRdL/s320/qipao+red.jpg" width="212" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiY3oZBBAalL6W0WP97vmvSuaYnpeQ3dxPy_rriOt4tpmDz42busbHl7RreYsucmKqczCvFBYSSCTWPpSU0yPKp7DqmPRUHdU6kxiHWp-zSlfqnCeAaq-gjB1Q80_0bQHBNimESbzJ8hN4t/s1600/qi+pao+red.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiY3oZBBAalL6W0WP97vmvSuaYnpeQ3dxPy_rriOt4tpmDz42busbHl7RreYsucmKqczCvFBYSSCTWPpSU0yPKp7DqmPRUHdU6kxiHWp-zSlfqnCeAaq-gjB1Q80_0bQHBNimESbzJ8hN4t/s320/qi+pao+red.jpg" width="153" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">There are many overall <i>qipao</i> style options to consider. Collars may be different heights, and sleeves different lengths (though in the latter case, sleeveless or short-sleeve styles are most common). Button-closures also vary from the strictly functional to the wildly decorative. Lastly, you should consider the overall shape and length of the dress. A fitted, floor-length dress is the norm, but you should explore your options if you don’t think that style is for you. It’s all about finding a balance between tradition and what makes you look and feel beautiful. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzf8bl_2q55GZ2sDw9Uf5qWw9M8HmWAfXrPHC41L4-jWvOiIqvBOhFKztDMTzSj5nivVWZAbwF0yNAz2wspHqp0oZIFKnG_TxH5UsKFmXhxBV67Zz_lgLsBdfCmqGYcbZU3Gh0s1h_bJbA/s1600/qi+pao+modern.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Celtic embroidery, such as the Celtic <i>knotwork</i> (which symbolizes eternal love) might also be incorporated into her dress. Scottish grooms and groomsman typically wear traditional Highland outfits, including kilts, vests, sporrans (leather pouches), jackets, hose and <i>ghillies</i> (authentic Highland footwear). The groom will wear his family tartan attached with a large brooch on the shoulder of his jacket, and a <i>Skean Dhu</i> (which means 'black dagger' in Gaelic) tucked into the top of his kilt hose.
